Traditional Chinese Medicine: Acupuncture

Balancing Health and Wellbeing with Acupuncture

Acupuncture is a time-honored technique that involves the insertion and manipulation of fine, sterile needles into specific points on the body’s meridians to promote health, balance, and overall wellbeing.

With over 400 acupuncture points, each serving as a gateway to influence the body’s vital energy, acupuncture can effectively address various health issues.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), it’s believed that there are 20 meridians through which life energy, or “qi,” flows. These meridians are essential channels that transport qi throughout the body.

However, factors such as stress, poor diet, disease, injury, and lifestyle choices can block these pathways, leading to an inadequate flow of qi and resulting in bodily dysfunction.

Acupuncture aims to unblock these pathways, ensuring a smooth flow of qi, which is crucial for maintaining health and preventing disease.

By influencing, redirecting, increasing, or decreasing the body’s vital substance through acupuncture points, we can restore balance and promote healing.

Your journey to balance and wellbeing begins with understanding your unique needs. During your first acupuncture session, our skilled acupuncturist will take the time to get to know you.

You’ll start by filling out a brief form with your personal details, followed by a conversation about your health history, stress levels, daily habits, and any concerns you might have.

This initial consultation, which typically lasts about 10 minutes, allows the practitioner to gain a comprehensive view of your body’s current state.

With this global understanding, the acupuncturist will identify which energy channels may be blocked and where to focus the treatment. The goal is to restore the natural flow of energy, alleviating discomfort and promoting overall wellness.

Your session will last approximately 60 minutes, giving ample time for both the consultation and the treatment itself.

Acupuncture and Toning Massage: Applied from the second week postpartum, this treatment is more than a luxury, it is a necessity. It reduces exhaustion, relieves muscle pain, restores metabolic balance, helps the uterus return to normal, prevents and treats postpartum complications, which all stimulate the body’s natural recovery process.

In addition the acupuncture is often accompanied by the application of Moxa (see below – Mother Warming Treatment) in the “Golden Month” phase. This recharges the new mother’s batteries and also aids in the production of breast milk.

Mother Warming Treatment: Is a technique used in Asian medicine for thousands of years. It is done with the application of a Moxa cone (mugwort) on specific acupuncture points in the abdomen and lumbo-sacral area which produces a sensation of soft and penetrating heat that relaxes and tones, helping in general rehabilitation and recovery of vitality (vital force).
